7 | 7 | | may find comfort in their memories of this beloved young man, |

8 | 8 | | who passed away on August 5, 2017, at the age of 16; and |

9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, The son of Dion and Michelle Faucheux and brother |

10 | 10 | | of Nathan and Trent Faucheux, Heath Faucheux was born in |

---|
13 | 13 | | and played French horn in the Hallsville Bobcat Band; in addition, |
---|
14 | 14 | | he enjoyed making music at the piano or on the harmonica, and he |
---|
15 | 15 | | recently taught himself to play trumpet; his musical tastes were |
---|
16 | 16 | | broad, ranging from jazz and show tunes to classic hits and |
---|
17 | 17 | | Christian songs; and |
---|
18 | 18 | | WHEREAS, Mr. Faucheux was a member of the Hallsville Math |
---|
19 | 19 | | Science Team and competed in Academic University Interscholastic |
---|
20 | 20 | | League from sixth grade onward; athletic as well, he earned a |
---|
21 | 21 | | first-degree black belt in tae kwon do and lifeguard certification |
---|
22 | 22 | | from the American Red Cross; his greatest enthusiasm was |
---|
23 | 23 | | scouting, and he excelled in the movement from his days as a Tiger |
---|
24 | 24 | | Cub, earning the Arrow of Light and nearing completion of his |
---|
25 | 25 | | Eagle Scout requirements; a natural leader, he set an example of |
---|
26 | 26 | | kindness, courtesy, and integrity; he enjoyed teaching skills to |
---|
27 | 27 | | younger scouts, and he was a staff member for National Youth |
---|
28 | 28 | | Leadership Training Camp, Cub Day Camp, and Camporee, as well as |
---|
29 | 29 | | senior patrol leader, guide, and bugler for his own troop; his |
---|
30 | 30 | | sense of adventure found an outlet in mountain climbing, knee |
---|
31 | 31 | | boarding, canoeing, sailing, swimming, and many other outdoor |
---|
32 | 32 | | activities; and |
---|
33 | 33 | | WHEREAS, Uncommonly mature and observant for his age, |
---|
34 | 34 | | Heath Faucheux demonstrated a high degree of empathy, and he |
---|
35 | 35 | | reached out to those who were shy or uncertain; his smile, sense |
---|
36 | 36 | | of humor, and wildly creative ideas brightened the days of |
---|
37 | 37 | | everyone he encountered; although the loss of one so full of |
---|
38 | 38 | | promise brings immeasurable heartache, those he leaves behind |
---|
39 | 39 | | will forever cherish the precious years they shared with him; |
---|
40 | 40 | | now, therefore, be it |
---|
41 | 41 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
---|
42 | 42 | | Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life |

45 | 45 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
---|
46 | 46 | | his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this day, it do |
---|
47 | 47 | | so in memory of Heath Abram Faucheux. |
